Help me choose a desktop polysynth!

Hi, I am considering getting myself a “proper” polysynth! Please share some suggestions (which ones would you choose or which one should I add to the list to consider?)!

Requirements: - Polysynth (6 voices minimum) - Desktop/module (I have limited space availble) - Presets - Analog or Hybrid (not fully digital) - Knob per function (limited menu diving)

Currently on my wishlist (assuming budget is not an issue...): - Novation Peak - DSI OB-6 - Sequential Prophet-6 - Sequential Prophet Rev2 8-voice - Sequential Prophet Rev2 16-voice - DSI Prophet 12 Not a lot of choices there... it’s either the Peak or one Dave Smith’s synth! Maybe I am missing some!

Not sure about these: - ASM Hydrasynth (it sounds cold/digital to me) - Waldorf Iridium (I am not really interested in wavetable synths) - Elektron Digitone (I am not really interested in FM) - Access Virus TI2 (more like a VST than a synth?) - Behringer DeepMind 12D (it’s Behringer...) - Modal Argon8M (it sounds cold/digital to me) - Modal Cobalt8M (it sounds cold/digital to me) My impressions are based on youtube reviews, I did not actually tried any of the above mentioned synths in person.

Current setup: - Minilogue XD - Typhon - Volca Bass - Minitaur - Model:Cycles - Modular
